Coyote and his endlessly elusive prey, the Road Runner, Chuck Jones has been responsible for many classics of animation featuring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and Elmer Fudd. Hugh Kenner, master wordsmith and technophile, reveals in cartoon-like sequences the irrepressible humor and profound reflection that shape Chuck Jones's work." "Kenner also x-rays the inner world of cartooning, from its beginnings as a technological innovation, through its heyday as six-minute full-animation shorts for the movies, to its eventual shift to television, where Jones animated features such as The Grinch Who Stole Christmas and Rikki Tikki Tavi." "Unlike Walt Disney, Chuck Jones and his fellow animators at Warner Bros. were not interested in cartoons that mimicked reality. Instead, they pursued the reality of the imagination, the Toon world where believability is more important than realism and where movement is the ultimate aesthetic arbiter. By describing the erudition and kinetic humor in great works like What's Opera, Doc? and Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 century, Hugh Kenner offers a new understanding not only of cartooning culture but also of art's relationship to technology, criticism, freedom, and imagination."--Jacket. 517 $aChuck Jones 606 $aVisual Arts$2HILCC 606 $aArt, Architecture & Applied Arts$2HILCC 606 $aDrawing, Design & Illustration$2HILCC 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 615 7$aVisual Arts 615 7$aArt, Architecture & Applied Arts 615 7$aDrawing, Design & Illustration 676 $a741.5/8/092 700 $aKenner$b Hugh$0132323 701 $aJones$b Chuck$f1912-2002.$01233545 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910496150403321 996 $aChuck Jones$92865052 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
